Oooooookay, I personally have some sort of really strange idea about what this comic is trying to say, but I'm uncertain.

May I ask for a clarification on what's going on here?

Slick is afraid of love--or of being vulnerable--so now that his heart is healed, he's locking it away.

Poor Slick.

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."
--C.S. Lewis

Also: The dudes in panel 12 appear to be in pain, which seems to run contrary to the love-arrow concept.

Of all pains, the greatest pain,
Is to love, and to love in vain.

That's a pretty neat quote, that clears it up.

...I just can't shake the feeling that how in this comic strip his heart pretty much 'bites' the first girl he sees, this also has a subtle meaning of some kind.

Probably more along the lines of lust then love basically. Or being overly in a state of wanting love that you choose to go for anyone. Plenty of ways it can be interpreted too. Some even thought it was something to do with Devil Slick._________________ My Art

Hey, if you take a Shot Through The Heart, you're not going to want the finish scratched the first day back, let alone on the way back from the God Squad. Let the guy play the field, ease back into it.
That's Slick for you. He won the Singles in the Doubles, but to be fair no-one told him the last panel was a team sport, after all.

I've noticed you have really good taste in music. Or rather similar tastes to mine which is what I consider good.

Unless of course you just put up songs that match what you're talking about and don't care either way for the actual song/band playing said song. In that case you just happen to pick songs/bands which I enjoy.
